Good Food, Great Drink and a Warm Welcome in the Eden Valley
The Shepherds Inn, Melmerby
Set in the village of Melmerby, at the foot of the Pennines, The Shepherds Inn is a proper village pub near Penrith, built around good food, well-kept ales and a warm welcome.
We cook everything from scratch using quality ingredients and local produce wherever we can, serving honest pub food that’s made to be enjoyed. Behind the bar, you’ll find real ales, a solid wine list and drinks we’re proud to pour.
Some days are quiet and easy, others bring a bit more life with live music and a full room, but it always feels relaxed, friendly and easy to settle into.
Whether you’re local or visiting the Eden Valley, calling in after a walk or meeting friends for a meal, you’ll always find a place here.
